Boxed In

The front door and rear door were installed and a fabric skirt was attached to the frames as per the window details.
The continuous airtight membrane caused a problem in the bathroom.
The membrane was running up the walls and to the underside of the ceiling. The ceiling was then to be lathed and plaster boarded. The problem was the light fittings again were deeper than the lath and plaster board by a considerable amount. This would mean that the membrane would need to be cut out.
The solution was to create a plywood box that would be fixed in between the ceiling joists at the light fitting locations.
This box would be lined with a membrane and sealed.
The seal would continue into the ceiling membrane ensuring continuity and airtightness.
The boxes effectively created a hood for the lights. The lights and the transformer easily fitted within these boxes.
